"Joe Gomez was set to leave Liverpool in the summer up until Marc Guehi's move from Crystal Palace fell through. The long-serving star has fallen down the pecking order in recent years, and in 2026, it seems inevitable that he will depart but at this stage, it is not likely to happen mid-season, despite AC Milan's strong desire to secure his signature."
"As long as Joe Gomez is needed and is playing games, I think he's happy at Liverpool. There was obviously interest from AC Milan in the summer window. I'm sure there's still interest from some foreign clubs in Gomez as well. But Liverpool's current plight means that they can't even consider letting Gomez go. They're probably looking to bring in another centre-back, not lose a centre-back in January. So I think that'll be the current situation."
Liverpool completed substantial summer business and may pursue further transfers in January. Geovanni Leoni suffered an ACL injury, creating an immediate need for a central defender. One existing centre-back might still leave in the longer term, but a mid-season departure is considered unlikely. Joe Gomez attracted AC Milan interest and nearly left during the summer when other moves collapsed. Gomez has dropped down the pecking order and a 2026 exit appears probable, yet he is willing to stay while selected by Arne Slot. Liverpool currently cannot afford to sell a centre-back and will likely recruit another rather than lose one in January. Gomez's value increases while Leoni is injured, offering chances to complete another season with the defending champions.
